Immigrants, Library of Congress Book

Click to enlarge image(s)

Old archival photographs from the Library of Congress create a "you are there" impression in this fascinating look at immigration. These are real photos of real people who flooded into the USA between 1870-1920. Images of the journey itself—Ellis Island, life in the cities and life in rural communities, children at play and at school, the Statue of Liberty (still in pieces), and quotes from immigrants from different countries add to the interesting text.
Paperback, ages 9-14 years, 96 pages.
